HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!
Yup today's my Papa's birthday. I shall reveal his age, sensitive issue. HAHA! But he's still young, below 45..young right? Anyways this morning i didn't go for first service 'cause i needed to finish up the Gingey I was making for my father. I feel asleep doing it the day before. But I was rushing for time 'cause I was supposed to meet William at 12 and it was nearly 12 like 1145. So I smsed him, courtesy right, cannot let people wait for you like that. Anyways I did like 80% of the Gingey before getting ready. Once i was, i ran out of the house and took a cab 'cause i was so scared. Thank God William still had a smile on his face when i reached. Phheww! Yup after that went for third. Then i begged my mum to let me go for the basketball tournament but she just wouldn't let me. So in the end I just went to Hua Li Xuan with whoever was left of my cell to makan. 4.1 was there too. And the first thing said at me was NOISY!, guess who..AGUS luh who else! So I retaliated, CHEAPSKATE! And it went back and forth a couple of times before Merri said, "PEACE!!!" Agus was like, "DREAM ON AH" Then i said, " yah dream on, there will never be peace between us." Clearly the A'Level people are stressed, don't believe? Look at YEOW SHENG. He's like super zombified. Poor him=[ He's practically mumbling no-sensesical stuff eh. Anyways i ate then, Geraldine wanted BubbleTea so I accompanied her. Then after paying the overly numbered bill, Adora, Geraldine, Sherni and I oh and Ann, we walked out. Sherni and Ann cabbed to the bball tournament. While Geraldine was deciding how to go back home. In the end she went to Parkway to meet Abby 'cause she needed extra Chinese tuition. So it was left with Adora and I. It was raining and i didn't have an umbrella so Adora shared hers with me. I just HAD TO sing the UMBRELLA SONG. ha ha! Merri would've whacked me out of irritation or joined me out of defeat, but she wasn't there so I wouldn't know the outcome anyway. And darling Adory was kind enough to take the same bus as me. Yay. It's one of those wonderful times i don't go home alone. Again.. A'level people are stressed, ask Adora. When i reached home I finished up the Gingey. Yay, Papa like it=] Then 'cause it was Papa's birthday we ate dinner at the Carlton. Yum.


*F.Y.I If you eat Carlton buffet don't eat they pretty, cute looking desserts. They look yummalicious but they taste vomitacious!!! But I'd give a five *star* rating for the Movenpick Tiramisu ice cream=] and the chocolate pudding=] -drrooolllsssss


Au Revoir!

Thursday. . .
26 October 2007
OK today is the first day of the week that i'm going to school. 'Pai-kianess'. But it's like after after that major exam I just took!!! So i don't have to go to school..right? Anyways, today we had Mother Tongue and Math brideging programme. But guess what! We hid in the library=] haha Which actually = to poning it but WTH! We played monopoly. I made Priya bankrupt like the 3rd round, i felt so bad. Then she so cute, she said " see luh Amanda, now Monopoly chiken rice i also cannot buy. Alamak!" Wha that made me feel worse. She mentioned chicken rice so many times that it gave Naru and I the craving for it, but we din't even eat it in the end. Then after recess we pon Math by hiding in the toilet 'cause we got caught hiding in the library 'cause the dynamic duo, Irene and Ranjitha, told on us. So we like moved from the toilet near the hall to the toilet on the other side on the same floor. I felt dirty, having to climb up and down and sit in the loo. But it was fun!!! Naru and I shared a cubicle haha. After that i went home with Naru,we bought bubble tea and waffle hotdog sticks, it was an interesting time home.hAHa

-LALALA-bye=]

sheesh. . .
25 October 2007
I've been such a fool all this time.
Thinking, I still had a bestfriend.
But the truth is, she was a gone a heck of a long time ago.
And all along, i guess. . . i was just living in denial.

entrepernuership camp
20 October 2007
-vanessa posing for the poster-
-sarah pascoe drew this on my leg, then i was like "my mum will scold me eh" then she added the 'God Bless You' then she said " ok now your mum won't scold you." lame right -

-this was us finishing up the poster-


-the poster-





First day of entrepernuership camp.
Armed with a major bad sore throat, cold, cough and headache, i went to school. Honestly, i was really dreading the entreprenuership camp. I mean come on it's not like everyone's gonna be entrepueners right? I though it was going to be as boring as those Temasek Poly lectures, but boy was i proven wrong! It was a whole lot more fun than i expected. Actually coming to think of it, I think i'll benefit from this camp after all since i'm really keen on having my own fashion line, comprising of shoes, clothes, acessories etc. So yeah, should be of basic help right. Oh and we watched videos of this Japanese CCA where they create these cool maze things.

till tmr..zai jian


Second day of entreperneurship camp.
Who...Second day! We had it at the Drama Room today. We watched super funny videos, the funnies one was where this bed shop placed this bed in the showroom posing as just an ordinary water bed but actually the people who try it out, fall right into the water! We watched it like 7 times and we did'nt get the least bit sick of it! And we watched he Jap videos again. They're like super talented okay. Then after recess we moved to the other half of the Drama Room 'cause the other class needed the projector. We compiled our notes together and we had Vanessa pose for our poster! It was so funny. We were so into it that i think we were the only group who continued to finish it up after school. We went to Rachel's house. Her father was so funny! He was like what are u'll doing? Then we explained the poster to him and as u can see in the pictures the gurl's armpit is wide open. So he was like, "no wonder there's a funny smell." We were like laughing away!

till tomorrow..Adious!


Third day of entrepernuership camp.
Hey hey, looks like I survived the ordeal! Today before recess we practiced our advertisment!tummy-tickle causing okay. Because we're selling deoderant right, it's called 'EudDe SAC' by the way, we 'hired' our teacher Donnie be the smelly guy. HA HA. He's supposed to walk past four of us, Wei Jun and I played 'Hai Tai' this Taiwanese game. Adina, i cant remember what she does and Rachel just pretends she's waiting for something. Then when Donnie walks past we faint one by one. And by now you could just imagine the laughter which was aroused. Then Vanessa a.k.a the narrator says, " Okay now pause and rewind. Let's see the difference 'EudDe SAC' makes." So he walks past us agin and this time we all turn in amazement at the fantabulous smell emitting from him. HA HA. Throughout the cause of the three days, Donnie had actually grown on us. It was a sad moment when it came fot the time to bid our goodbyes. Oh my, sounds so soppy! Anyways yup, there you have it. The summary of the thre days of my entrepernuership camp.

till next time..Sayonara

cell at timmy's house
14 October 2007
Ok I just made Timothy sound like a little boy who picks his nose or something..HA HA HA! Sorry Timothy! Today i was supposed to meet Jia Jin at 12:30, and i was half-an-hour late! Sorry Jia Jin!! But he called me an idiot like three times! So the demoralising. . .By the way those who don't know who Jia Jin is, he's the guy from my math tuition a.k.a the planet's most irritating pest! And becasue of this, i was 10 minutes late to meet Sherni. See, being late causes a domino effect of lateness! Moral of the story? --> DON'T BE LATE! But actually it was'nt my fault, i really could'nt have made it earlier you see. So we met the cell at Simei MRT, duh that's where he lives. Anyways, yup we had cell at Timothy's house. We played three games.

1-Gerry's Drama game[i think]
2-Head's up
3-Bing and Bong

Head's up was fun 'cause I won the first round, together with Tim, even though i had'nt played it before.PRO right..hehheh Then Bing and Bong, whoa that was the most challenging icebreaker I've ever played ok! Well maybe not the most, like 2nd most. It was super confusing! I'm so sorry i cant teach over this blog entry, 'cause u'll be like ''huh?!? what the ?!?!" so yah i shall spare you the torture.

Constance shared, she shared on the Love for God. She said God spoke to her concerning our cell, that we need to go a level higher in loving HIM. My sentiments exactly!
[I feel we've been stagnent for too long, we seriously need to rise up, especially since the time of the Lord's return is fast approaching. We need to start living our lives like the Lord's coming back tomorrow. It's time to stop playing church! Are we really acting like Christians from Monday to Friday? I admit i don't, everyday. This is where we have to start praying for fellow believers right? For the Lord to streghten each and everyone of us. We really need to go back to our first love!]
Then we had altercall, I've been feeling lately, the lack of love. I'm not being emo or anything. But really there's an emptyness inside of me, and today the Lord said to me, "Amanda i want to let you feel My love." And Constance shared about what God said to her at one point during this year's Church Camp, He said, I would willingly go back to the cross,get lashed and whipped, spit at and mocked, just to see you for 5 seconds. Can you imagine! Just for 5 seconds, the Lord will Go back to the Cross again. Do you see the love? When she shared this my heart just melted at how much Jesus loves me. Who would be willing to die just to die just to see you for 5 seconds?




Ok sorry this is super anti-climax but, we had steamboat!!!! I tell you it was THE most comical steamboat i'd ever had ok. First of all Geraldine brought a slow-cooker instead of a steambout thingy.. So we were like staring at the pot for like 15-20 mins and nothing happened. So lame right. The den-de-deden!!! Tim's mum came to the rescue! She like saved the whole mess! So finnaly after 45 mins I think, we finally got it cooking. By the way Tim CANNOT cook for nuts! I tell you i would seriously lke to go into full detail about the whole steamboat phenomenon we had but that would be super 'lor-sor' [long winded]. We were all prespiring like anything ok, not to mention Timothy's granma's chilli was the bomb! Shiok! but hot..too hot in fact. We seriously looked like we just ran our 2.4 or something. Can you imagine we felt tired haha. Then after dinner we watched Mr. Bean.
I LOVE YOU MR. BEAN!!!
Ok sorry randomness. Then we watch like 5 minutes of Big Fat Liar, so funny. Half way while Tim was channel surfing Geraldine and I spotted those three beautiul words and a number, then shouted in unison, " HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2!!!!!!!!!!!" Timothy was like, "7:30 lah". So while waiting we watched Animal Planet. So poor thing this baby I dunno what was eaten by a big pig looking owl. Then the big freaky looking octopus/squid thing ate a fish. So yeah then finally it was 7:33. We started watching. Gerry and I just could'nt shut up, we sang every song and said almost everyone's lines. Our cell was so amused haha. The my father, spoil sport, came at like 740. But kind him let me stay for 15 mins extra since poor me does'nt have cable tv. But kind me stayed till the first comercial.

My mum cooked today!! Everybody clap..haha ok 'cause she has'nt cooked in like months. And she just had to choose a day when my stomach was already so full. Well before the steamboat I was starving 'cause I din't have three meals before that. Anyway when i reached home I smelt the curry. And i just had to say, " Welcome to Mr. Idian CurryHouse! " You know the M1 advert. Love that one! Anyways after that i bathed then practiced violin then.. bye bye i have written too much!
Later everybody.

day out with me mum
12 October 2007
We had breakfast, my mum granma and I, at this market foodcourt whatever it's called opposite Temasek JC. Then we sent my granma home and we took bus no. 7 all the way to Plaza Sing. Interesting ride we had. So we went to Body Shop to buy our perfume, we walked out, but in the end on our way home we bought three bottles of RougeBerry. the smell is lovely I tell you. Smell me! haha sorry. Anyways we dropped by Chomel, my mum bought clothes, and birthday presents. Then we went to Yamaha 'cause i wanted to but violin and piano scores. I picked out like five books but my mum narrowed it down to two. Sadness ah! But anyway, the two were violin scores for Pirates of the Carribean and High School Musical. After that we headed to spotlight to get materials for my granma's card. Then we cabbed home after that 'cause we were dead beat. I can't remember what i did after that thought, all i remember is i watched my 9p.m show, read another chapter of 'The Three Battle Grounds' then slept.
man..i seriously cant remember what i did after i came home..

`CHERIO

Dinner with the cell
10 October 2007
Today was the first time i've ever eaten at Fish&CO. And i don't even know what i ate because Sherni ordered. I think it was some tangy sauce fish thing haha. Timothy ordered swordfish. Since my fries came first he told me to go ahead 'cause his food would come in like half an hour. I just had to think of something lame.. i said, " Oh 'cause they have to find the fish, then have a sword fight right? Then if the swordfish very unfreindly then it will take longer." Then Everyone was like laughing. But the fish came like 5 minutes later, then Li Juan was like," I think this time the fish was freindly since it din't take so long." Hais people under the influence of muah! After that I left early with Sherni 'cause she needed to but some anti-virus thing from Challenger and she had a curfew. Went home, watched my 9p.m show read one chapter of 'The Three Battle Grounds' then went to sleep


sorry today's so mundane

OK then after the movie, we did what we'd been waiting to do for weeks! We KTVed! haha today was the first time i ever KTVed. And we did it in the privacy and comfort of Daphne's abode. We sang all sorts of songs man! So funny!!! Songs ranging
from Lady Marmalade to S.H.E to JJ Lin to westlife..and a lot of irritating songs. And of all days i had to have phlegm! Major urgh! I kept zao-siang [ hokkien for out of tune ] so sad, but itz a good thing my voice warmed up abit after awhile though, not to its full power but yeah good enough for KTVing. I reached home at 6:55 pm, and mummy dint say a word. yay.. Then i was like Mummy. . . my laptop! [ She confiscated it like 2 weeks ago i think ] , and just as i expected... "no, go clean up your room first" like so predictable. By the way my room is not always messy ok it's only messy now cause i've been studying and have had no time to clean up. So I bathed then tidied up. Then my mum gave me back my laptop, but when I switched it on.. guess what? no battery!!! Then the best part was she forgot where she put the charger! I was so aggitated. Then I like found the charger in a shoe box 2 hrs later. Then when I could finally switch on my laptop, no internet connection! So had to end up using the nomal com. Sad ah. Nevermind I shall use it tomorrow, cause from my room got better connection. Anyways, so sad ah the only person who rememberd today was my last day of exams and remind me what an esctatic thing it was, was Agus. Thank You Agus! haha
